The old 32 bit versions of Windows can only use 3gb, and I also agree that eight is probably now the minimum specs but it is only of proper value if the Windows version is 64 bit.
Lots of legacy stuff within Windows still is 32 levels of performance, and I think this is also true of individual components within Window-Eyes. My rule of thumb is buy the highest spec machine which can be afforded, as new software demands more and more of the hardware.

I usually recommend at least 8 gb of ram or higher. -----Original Message----- From: Pamela Dominguez via Talk Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2015 3:25 PM To: j...@jedbarton.com ; Jed Barton ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: we 9.2, very unresponsive Part of your problem could be the amount of ram you have. On a modern computer, I don't know that four gigs is much ram. If I'm wrong, I'm sure somebody will tell me.

I am running we 9.2, a win 7 machine with 4 gigs of ram. I just upgraded to we 9.2, and to say i am disappointed is a big under-statement. This is by far the slowest version of we i have ever used. Guys at aisquared, i do not mean this in a bad way, but i really need some insight here. I'm just being bluntly honest. On the web, it's horrible. I can press the up and down arrow keys, and literally count seconds before it responds. I find that it's just being very slow. I am assuming, that because of the new thing they did with changing web pages, that this old machine just can't handle it. I am planning on getting a new machine with windows 10, a solid state drive, and 8 gigs of ram. Please guys, i need some input here. I fully expected it would be a lot more responsive than this. I am really thinking of doing a system restore at this point. Any thoughts?
